Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to ski boots, and in particular to an improvement in the fitting mechanism that holds the upper part of the instep closer to the ankle and provides a better fit.

(B) Prior art and problems Ski boots in recent years consist of a shell molded from hard plastic material and an inner boot that holds the foot in close contact with the shell without any gaps. In order to hold the foot well inside and improve the operability of the ski when skiing, the upper part of the shell corresponding to the ankle is tightened with a tightening mechanism, or the top of the foot is held and the ankle is tightened. This provides a more secure fit.

Conventional techniques for holding the instep of the foot to improve the ankle fit, which is important for foot-tapping, are disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-118359 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-118360, etc. ing.

Such a conventional fitting, ie, foot holding mechanism, holds the boundary between the instep and the ankle, or the intermediate portion of the instep, from the outer surface of the inner boot using a band member.

However, the tightening mechanism such as a buckle that applies a tightening force to the band member of the above method protrudes significantly from the outer surface of the shell body, so the tightening mechanism gets in the way when skiing or carrying. In addition to damaging the appearance of the ski boots, there was a risk of injury.

(c) Purpose of the invention This invention was made to solve the conventional problems as mentioned above.It eliminates the protrusion of the tightening mechanism and the risk of injury, and also improves the appearance of the shoe. The purpose is to provide ski shoes that are made to last.

(d) Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the ski shoes of this invention include a shell body, an inner boot inserted into the shell body, and a part of the shell body that faces the instep. a cover member that covers the notch opening; a presser member located inside the cover member that holds the boundary between the instep and the ankle portion from the upper surface of the inner boot; and a presser member that extends to one end of the presser member. a belt portion formed and drawn out of the shell body toward the heel portion; a recess formed on the outer side of the shell body along the direction in which the belt portion is pulled out; and a recess that does not protrude into the recess. A tightening buckle that is attached as shown in FIG. and a cable whose other end is fixed to the shell body.

(E) Example of the invention Hereinafter, an example of the invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figures 1 to 5 show an example of a ski shoe equipped with a fitting mechanism according to this invention.
is a shell body molded from a hard plastic material such as polyurethane, and this shell body 1 consists of a bottom part 2, a lower shell 3 that covers the foot part, and an upper shell 4 that covers the ankle part, and the upper shell 4 can be expanded. Its front and rear surfaces are open, and these openings are closed from the inside by a front cuff 5 and a rear cuff 6, respectively, and the lower ends of the front cuff 5 and rear cuff 6 extend in the front-rear direction. It is pivoted so that it can be tilted. Further, the portion of the lower shell 3 facing the instep of the foot has a large notch extending to the ankle, and this notch opening 7 is covered from the outside by an elastic cover member 8, and this cover The outer peripheral edge of the member 8 is engaged with the edge of the notch opening 7 in an overlapping state, and the upper edge is connected to the lower end of the front cuff 5 by a projection 9. Reference numeral 10 indicates an inner boot made of a flexible material which is interposed between the shell body 1 and the skier's feet in order to fit the skier's feet within the shell body 1, and 11 indicates the upper shell 4, This is a tightening device that tightens the outer circumferences of the front cuff 5 and rear cuff 6. This tightening device 11 is composed of a belt 11a and a buckle 11b for tightening the belt 11a. In addition, the tightening device 11
The forward tilt angle and forward pressure can be adjusted by moving the tightening device for the upper shell 4 up and down.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a fitting mechanism for fitting the foot into the shell body 1 by holding the instep of the foot and the boundary between this and the ankle, and corresponds to the cover member 8 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. A pressing member 13 that is superimposed on the outer surface of the inner boot 10, and this pressing member 1.
An uneven portion 14 connected to one end of 3 and continuous to the surface.
It is composed of a belt portion 14 having a shape a, a cable 15 connected to the other end of the pressing member 13, and a tightening buckle 16 that engages with the belt portion 14.

Further, a recess 3a is formed on the outer side of the lower shell 3 of the shell main body 1 along the direction in which the belt portion 14 is pulled out, and the tightening buckle 16 is installed in the recess 3a so as not to protrude. ing.

The holding member 13 holds the boundary between the instep and the ankle from the upper surface of the inner boot 10, and the belt portion 14 is connected to one end of the holding member 13.
is pulled out of the cover member 8 through the overlapping portion of the cover member 8 and the lower shell 3, extends along the concave portion 3a in the direction of the heel portion 1a of the shell body 1, and is locked by the tightening buckle 16. The cable 15 is inserted from the outside to the inside through a hole 17 bored at the edge of the notch opening 7 on the opposite side of the tightening buckle 16, and is further inserted through the hole 17 into the shell body. A horizontal hole 18 formed on the outer surface of the cover member 8 is pulled out through a hole 18 drilled in the lower shell 3 in a portion close to the edge of the cover member 8, with the toe portion 1b of the cover member It is turned toward the buckle side along the groove 19, and its end is fixed to the inner wall of the lower shaker 3 with a rivet 20.

In the ski boot fitting mechanism configured as described above, the belt portion 14 is attached to the buckle 16.
the ratchet claw 16a of the belt part 1.
4, and tilt the buckle 16 in the tightening direction, the pressing member 13 and the cable 15
Tension is generated in the area, and as a result, the holding member 13 and the cable 15 tighten the boundary between the instep and the ankle and the cover member 8, respectively. It is displaced from the state shown by the chain line to the state shown by the solid line, thereby holding the instep part of the foot and the boundary part connected thereto at the same time. That is, since the instep part of the foot and the boundary part connected thereto are tightened as a whole, a soft holding feeling can be given to the foot. In addition, since the buckle 16 is buried in the recess 3a, when carrying the ski boots,
Alternatively, there is no fear that the buckles 16 will get caught on other objects during skiing, resulting in safety and a simple appearance of the ski boots.

(f) Effects of the invention As explained above, according to this invention, the tightening buckle of the fitting mechanism is buried in the recess formed on the outside of the shell body, so when carrying the ski boots, In addition, the ski boots are safe because the skier's body does not get caught in the buckles during skiing, and since the buckles do not protrude, the ski boots have the advantage of improving the appearance and being simple.
